General & Procedural Matters

The following miscellaneous errors are noted in the draft Plan: (i) Table 4.2 is incorrectly labelled.

(i)

This is an error and it will be corrected. Recommendation: Insert correct title for Table 4.2.

(ii) The Strategic Objectives for each chapter of the draft Plan are incorrectly labelled (e.g. Chapter 7 Employment and Economy refers to SO 6 Green and Blue Infrastructure, Open Space and Biodiversity . (iii) Objective 6.23 Designated Sites and Protected Species refers only to public rights of way, as per Objective 6.16. (iv) The planning authority should update Strategic Objective 4 to remove reference to the National Mitigation Plan.

(ii) This is not an error. The Draft Plan has 13 Chapters and 9 Strategic Objectives (SOs). The first Strategic Objective is in Chapter 2, and Chapter 10 has no associated Strategic Objective, hence the numbering between the 13 Chapters and 9 Strategic Objectives is not perfectly aligned. The table below sets out the numbering for the Chapters and Strategic Objectives:

Ch 1 Introduction

Ch 2 Core Strategy

SO 1 Compact Liveable Growth

Ch 3 Delivering Homes & Communities

SO 2 Delivering Homes & Sustainable Neighbourhoods

Ch 4 Transport & Mobility

SO 3 Transport & Mobility
